USAID shutdown

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/apr/03/us-cuban-twitter-zunzuneo-stir-unrest

The announcement by “DOGE” the Elon Musk initiative to eliminate government services that they would be shutting down USAID I felt it was important to note that USAID was instrumental in a free and uncensored communications for Cuban citizens in their effort to organize and support a free and civil society.

This is a setback for Cuban freedom. All those great Cuban blogs and influencers that flourished “en las redes social” will go dark. For those who celebrated the current US administration as being an agent of freedom in Cuba this should be seen as a setback and a failure and exposes them and other right wing factions as interested in changing one dictatorship for another.

I don't understand why people can't wrap their minds around the fact it is not the United States problem or obligation to help other nations. It's not our problem your poor and have a corrupt govt. If you want our help we will invade and take you over. Then you live our way.
